Restoration Of Fortunes

 Jeremiah 33 vs 7

God is a restorer.

He restores that which was stolen whether they are opportunities, years, youthfulness, virtues, health or stars.

We can be restored spiritually and physically.

Restoration should be part of your life story, it is part of God's script for you.

Zechariah 9:12

Restoration has been factored into the story of your life because God hates waste and if you are not restored your life or parts of it will be wasted.

John 6:12

Restoration is evidence of the presence of God's kingdom in a life.

Those in God's kingdom are entitled to restoration, restoration what God wants for humanity.

When Jesus visited the home of Zacchaeus the tax collector, Zacchaeus promised to restore four fold  what he had taken from everyone unjustly.

The presence of Jesus in his home compelled Zacchaeus to restore those who he had taken from unjustly. Then Jesus replied "today salvation has come to this house because he (Zacchaeus) is also a son of Abraham, for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost"

Luke 19:1-10

"To seek  and save that which was lost" is to restore.

So, restoration is God's plan and will for His people.

Jesus further showed restoration is part of His kingdom plan for our lives in 3 different parables.

The parable of the lost sheep, the parable of the lost coin, and the parable of the prodigal son show restoration.

Luke 15:1-32

Restoration makes us happy and joyful and we see that in each of those parables.

The dead coming back to life is part of restoration.

When Lazarus died and Jesus brought him back to life he was restored to Mary and Martha his sisters.

John 11:17-49

In the parable of the prodigal son the Father said his son was lost and is now found, died and brought back to life.

His son was restored back to him.

God is the one who restores our fortunes.

Jeremiah 33:7

God restores us to benefit us, compensate us, and to glorify Himself.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
